New to Sham PVP: Enh vs Ele for Season 15

4 posts in this topic

I am very interested in playing a dps role in 3v3 arenas in this upcoming season. I love the elemental spec and have for a very long time, but I've been watching enh recently and it seems like a lot of fun. Convince me which one I should play based on: The play styles involved, the team viable/popular compositions for the different specs, the different roles I'll play to be a good or even great player, the weaknesses and strengths of each spec, and finally please tell me what about YOUR preferred spec you love the most.

Also any helpful pvp tips, tricks, shortcuts, macro's, and useful information would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you guys in advance for replying and helping a fellow shaman out.

EDIT: I understand I am asking for a LOT, but don't get discouraged. Anything you're willing to contribute helps out and is welcome here.

I think both are fun but i perfer pairing either spec with a cc class. Enh goes well with hunters and i think warlock goes well with elemental. I love melee and enh has prob best burst in game so i prefer that.

I don't pvp on a shaman, but I know when I'm on my warlock or DK, one of my least favorite things to see running at me is a decently geared enhancement shaman, especially if Ascendance goes up. The burst is ridiculous.

I was recently asked to start playing enhance for my guild. So nothing else to do than grabbing the good ol' hammers and start swinging. I've read the guides here on IV, watched a few videos on Youtube and been on and off on the enhance discord. I thought I got the hang of it, felt pretty comfortabel doing a few bosses but when I skimmed through our loggs from a few of the bosses I noticed that my preformance is more or less garbage.
I decided to test my luck here. I was hoping that someone could analyze my loggs and give me a few pointers on what and what not to do.
I would also appreciate a few tips and trix about how to start analyzing my preformance myself so I dont have to turn back here as soon as the RNG gods are not with me.
Here is the log I was refering to:

And here is my armoy:

In advance I apologize for any misspelling and other nonsense that might confuse you. I should point out that English is not my main language.
If you need any other basic information in order to help me just give me a shout and I will comply.

About Us
Skunkworks is a guild for players who can not or do not want to commit to the time-intensive raid schedules of traditional "hardcore" guilds.
However, we still maintain a high caliber player environment and make an efficient use of our raiding time.
We raid Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 - 11:00 PST, just 8 hours a week and never more.

We are very protective of our guild environment and selective in recruitment. We are looking for solid players mechanically as well as intellectually.
We all get paid to deal with idiots, why should we pay to spend our leisure time with them as well?

Skunkworks has been around for multiple expansions and has historically always been at the top of the 2-night raiding guild scene.

Hi
So, lately I have been looking around the web for someone to explain how I can insert an icon/bar that displays the "buff" Feral Spirit. I am mainly using the Tell Me When addon, but I had to go through Weak Auras this time to get it right. I also want to mention that I would not have been able to get it right had I not imported the Weak Auras string from Wordup (author of the enhancement shaman guide). The reason for this being so complicated is because contrary to what you might think, Feral Spirit does not work as a buff. Therefore you will have to manually work around this problem to get it to work. I have added some pictures that will hopefully make the process easier.
PS. I am in no way an expert on either Tell Me When or Weak Auras, so be gentle...
1) Tell Me When:

This is the general layout. If you dont want an icon, but a bar. You can go into the "group" tab (bottom right of tell me when) and select bar (on the very top)

This is how the layout inside Tell Me When should look after completion. Feral Spirit is no longer a "buff", so you will have to make a Combat Event where you manually enter the amount of seconds the combat event (Feral Spirit) should be active, in this case 15 seconds

This is important: Events to check --> Casts --> Spell Cast Success
After all that you should be ready to go!

2) Weak Auras:

Feral Spirit is no longer a "buff", so you will have to make a Combat Log where you manually enter the amount of seconds the combat event (Feral Spirit) should be active, in this case 15 seconds

Just scrolling down

All the way at the bottom you have to enter the Spell Name and the amount of seconds that the Combat Event (Feral Spirit) should be active.
Now you should be all ready to go!
